To all wtom z5 may concern:

Be it known that l, FERNE G. KEISER, a citizen oi' the United States, residing at Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State oi Ohio, have invented certain new and useful improvements in and Relating to Ties and Processes o Making Same, oi" Wliich the olloiving is a specification.

This invention relates to a process of making neclrwear, more particularly ties, such as tour-in-hand and ascots and the product resulting from such process.

One object of the invention is to provide an improved process of making a tie that is durable, easily tied and capable of holding substantially its original shape, Without wrinlrling, rolling, stretching, disengagement or inisplacement of its parts, including the tie facing.

Another object of the invention is to provide an improved tie which is durable and capable of holding its original form Without stretching, ripping, Wrinkling or rolling.

vAnother object of the invention is to provide a tie the parts of which are correlated and connected together in a manner which insures long use oit the tie without causing substantially any deformity, rolling, Wrinle ling or ripping of the tie or its parts.

rmther object of the invention is to provide an improved tie, the parts of which are connected together to permit easy slippage of the neck band portion thereof relative to the collar of the wearer.

Other objects of my invention will be 0bvious to one skilled in the art from the de scription of it hereinafter made.

lli/ly invention c-tmsists4 iirst in cutting or forming, in any suital'ile manner, the pieces of material, to-vvi't, the facing, the inner lining, and the outer lining, of which the tie is made, to give the desired shape and size. The inner and outer linings correspond With each other in size and shape from end to end, except, by preference, the outer lining is made somewhatlonger than the inner lining. 'lhe facing is cut to the same shape as the inner and outer linings, but is somewhat Wider, 'from end to end, than said linings and preferably slightly longer than the outer lining.

rlhese pieces of material Will be cut according to the style and shape of the tie to be made. may he cut from a single length of' material, or each pieeeniay be ormedrom two see-- Each of said pieces ot material,

tions of material placed end to end, for economical reasons.

Next, l place the inner and outer linings on each other or face to face and connect them together by several rows of stitches extending substantially from end to end of said linings. The rows of stitches are preferably uniformly spaced from each other.

and the opposite outer rows of stitches are positioned at points somewhat remote from the opposite longitudinal edges of thev linings.

Next, l place the `facing on the outer lining with its finished side thereagainst and its opposite longitudinal edges conterminous with the opposite longitudinal edges of said inner and outer linings, and then l stitch the opposite longitudinal edges of all three pieces ot` 1uaterial together, the stitches beingpreterably arranged relatively close to the opposite longitudinal i'ree edges of these ieces.

Next, I turn the tie right side out. By this operation l reverse the finished side of the facing and position the inner lining between the facing and the outer lining.

This operation will expose the iinished side of the tie and cause its opposite longitudinal edges to be folded over the opposite longitudinal free edges of the linings, so that the latter will not be exposed in any vvay.

Next, pressing device, `to malte all parts of the tie flat, finished and perfect in form.

Finally, l stitch several longitudinal rows of stitches throughout 'that part of the tie constituting the neck band to 'fasten and compress these parts of theiacing, irner lining and outer lining closely together.

In carrymg out my invention l provide both an inner and an outer lining, both of which extend from end to end of the tie and connect them together independently of the facing at a plurality of points transversely of the tie and substantially from end to end thereof. so that when the tie is completed, all strains and stresses due to pulling and stretching of the tie. in tying it` land rolling and deformation of the tie due to use are avoided; this insures longer life for the tie and perfect shape as long as it is Worn. Again, as the tie maintains its shape, it will be obvious thatwvhenever it is cleaned and pressed, it will appear to be substantially new. Furthermore, the linings serve I may press the tie by the use of a.

` ends ofthe sections may 'usual manner, as shown atl la.

501 tothe same size thus preventing to" reinforce each other,

or misplacement i face to' face and stitched together.

1g. 5 is a View showing the facing placed on and stitched to the linings.

ffig. G is a view showing the facing turned right side out with the inner lining arranged between the outer lining and the facing and Ithe tie pressedinto shape.

-Fig. i' is a fragmentary bottom plan View of thetie.`

`Fig. 8 is a fragmentary view of the neck band portion of the tie after the saine is completed.

f 'F ig.- 9 is a'tran'sverse section on :the linev Fig'. 10 is a transverse section on the lineflO-glO, of Fig. 6.

17in the'drawings, l indicates apiece of suitable facing' material, such as silk or satin, which forms the outside piece or surv face of the completed.'tie.

'piece of fabric or material is formed of two sections cut on thebias and then stitched together end to end. The opposite outer be hemmed in the 2 indicates the inner lining for the tie.

. vThis lining is preferably formed from some 1s turnedright 'the facing Will lining 3 is'preferably formed from l'lfhe inner and outer llnmgs 2 and 3. are each softv material, such as shaker flannel. 3 in* ydicatesthe outer lining of the tie. The Sateen.

preferably formed from two sections of material which' are sewed together end to end yin any Well-known manner. for economical reasons or on account of the Width of the material from,which the sections are formed. 'fighe inner and outel linings 2 and 3 are cut' than the inner lining and substantially as llongas the piece of facing material. The facing is of substantially the same'shape as, butis cut somewhat Wider from end to end than the linings 2, 3, so that when the tie side out, the extra Width of permit it to fold over and around the opposite longitudinal free edges of the linings, as shown in Fig..7. 1 The pieces of material l, 2 and. to the desired shape according to the style of tie., such a four-inhand or ascot, that is to made up.-

` against and its opposite Preferably, this y i shape, except that the outer lining may be made somewhat longer 8 are' cutv n constructing the ltienthe inner and outer Lacasse linings are placed'on top of each other or L face to face and then stitched by a plurality of rows of stitches 4f. )The stitches l are substantially parallel with each other and preferably extend substantially from end to end of the linings; and the opposite outer rows. of stitches are pref points somewhat remote from the opposite longitudinal edges of the linings, as shown in F ig. 7. After the linings 2, '3, are stitched, the facing l is placed on top of the outer lining 3 .with'its finished side there- Y longitudinal edges substantially conterminous with the opposite longitudinal edges of the linings 2, 3, as 5. The opposite edges of the linings 2, .3, and facing l Aare stitched .together by stitches 4. from end to end of the tie as shown in Fig. 5. The extra Width of the facing l. permits it, when turned right side ont, to be folded over and around the opposite longitudinal .free edges of the linings to cover the edges y and stitches el from 5 indicates a plurality of stitches extend- The' 'stitches 4 extend erably arranged at ing longitudinally of the neck band portion of thetie. The stitches 5 extend through both the inner .and outer linings 2, 3, and the facing stitches t, serve to secure the latter tothe linings and the linings to each other at substantially all points throughout the length of the neck band. As a result'of this construction, the neck band portion is made 'smooth and substantially all portions of the pieces of material 'constituting such band Iare so uniformly connected together that binding of any portion of this part of the tie, in the collar ofthe user is avoided.' The construction therefore' provides for the ready slippage back and forth in the collar to adjust it during the tying operation.

By providing an inner and outerf lining Y and connecting them together by a plurality extending substantially4 'from end to end, independent of the facing,

of roivs of stitches the latter is provided 'with ay substantial backing which insures long life for the tie and overcomes wrinkling and stretching of the tie as an entirety and of the facing.

Furthermore, the construction insures strength to the tie as an entirety, so that stretching and rolling up, as well as tearing or ripping of the ie, or its facing, is entirely avoided.

y process of making ties is advantageous in that it provides each tie With inner and outer linings of a Width substantially equal to the' Width of `the lfront surface of the facing i when the tie is completed; sothat no matter What part ,of the tic is grasped in tying it and adjusting it tothe collar, the strains are entirely taken u bythe linings without permitting thelfacing, to stretch? .By stitching the opposite longitudinal 1,.and in cooperation with thel ist lll

Leanne@ edges of both linings to each other and to A the opposite longitudinal edges of the facing l, l prevent the edges of the linings from rolling up or their 'misplacement relative to the facing.

To those skilled in the art to which my invention relates, many alterations in construction and widely diil'erent embodiments of my invention will suggest themselves without dormi-ting from the spirit and scope thereof. My disclosures and the description herein are purely illustrative and are' not intended to be in Iany sense limiting.

lVhat l claim is: y
